Buffalo Divorce Attorney on Equitable Distribution

As an experienced Buffalo Divorce Attorney, I am often asked about equitable distribution and how it is handled.

  • The concept of equitable distribution, which doesn’t necessarily mean 50/50. It means equitable, or fair.
  • Division of property can be decided by the parties themselves if they can agree on what they believe is fair; otherwise, the court will decide for them.
  • Equitable distribution applies to both property and debts. It includes the house, cars, bank accounts, pensions, retirement accounts – and debt.
  • The court applies several number of factors, such as the parties’ income and the financial circumstances that existed during the marriage.
